Rome Travel Guide - What to see, eat, & do in Rome

Hi guys, Rome was a blast and definitely a sight to see. There are so many tourist attractions that are amazing & delicious food. We stayed for a week but I think you could probably see all of Rome in 4-5 days.

I'm going to break this post down my category, so that it is easier for you guys to locate what you need from this post!

FOOD

First up,  food. Food's always the best part, right?  We tried some really good spots. Something to note about Rome is that it's mostly 'take out' food. Their culture was built on take out & a lot of places don't have sitting areas. It's more of a grab your food & go type of thing. If you want to sit, I definitely recommend going to a nicer spot.

1. Alfredo ALLA SCROFA - Fettuccine alfredo is probably one of my favorite Italian dishes. This spot is the people who originally invented this dish. It was so cool to experience it from where it was made. Service was great & drinks were lovely too. When they bring your plate to you, they cover it in parmesan and toss the pasta for you right in front of you. This spot is finer dining, but I would definitely recommend.

2. La Freschetta - Ok this place was bomb! The drinks were so good  (I had an aperol spritz for the first time, bomb) and the food was even better! My sister and mom got pasta dishes and I ordered a pizza that came straight out of a brick oven. We also tried appetizers of bruschetta, suppli& fried mozzarella. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of the food ( I ate it before I could haha) but I would definitely recommend this spot! So yummy and unique.

3.  Al Forno della Soffitta - This was THE BEST pizza of the whole trip. All the ingredients were so fresh and made in an oven right in front of you. If you're looking for tasty thin crust pizza, this is the spot. It wasn't busy around 3 pm so when we ordered the pizza it took literally ten minutes to come to your table. Now that is fresh! I put a picture of the pizza from this spot here!

4. Giolitti- Best Gelato in all of Rome. Don't waste your time at the other spots, this is where the locals go!

5. Pastificio  - For 4 euro you can get pasta & wine. This is an amazing price! This spot is near the spanish steps & is great if you just want something really quick to eat. Not five star dining, but none the less a great spot for a decent lunch! They make two pastas daily and it varies by the day.

6. Caffe Vatican - If you're visiting the Vatican, grab a cappicino or espresso at this spot! So delicious and my favorite one.

                                             

7. Antico Caffe Greco - I had a delicious caffe latte with soy here. This spot is in the spanish steps where the luxury shopping is. I loved it! It was a super old coffee shop and had such cute decor.

8. Tazza d'oro Caffè - A super yummy coffee shop right next to the Panthenon. Extremely busy, be prepared to drink and go.

9. Canova Tadolini - This cafe is so cool! It has sculptures inside of it which I thought was so interesting and unique.

SIGHTS

• Trevi Fountain - You must make a wish here! So touristy but so fun and the fountain is just breath taking. 

Spring Trends Report 2019

Who is craving warmer weather? I'm just waiting to be able to wear all my skirts, dresses & neutrals! There are some adorable trends popping up that I wanna share with y'all. 

                                                                      SHOES:

• Slip on Espadrilles - I will start with espadrilles - these are in trend every season and it's kinda sorta my favorite type of shoe. I just think the woven bottom is so feminine and fresh. I featured two types for you all in this post. I posted a slip on, which looks EXACTLY like the Chanel ones I have always wanted except with a smaller price tag. 

•  Black Wedge by Vince Camuto - The other espadrille is a classic wedge by vince camuto. I snagged these when they were being price matched because I know I'll wear a classic black wedge with all my summer dresses! Vince camuto shoes are also always so comfy. 

• Circus by Sam Edelman Mule - The last shoe I posted is this sam edelman slip in mule - I love a shoe like this for an effortless look. Slip these on instead of fast sandals and it will elevate your whole look!

BAGS:

• Straw Bag -There are three bag trends that are definitely in style for spring. The first one is the straw bag trend, which was in last year as well. I personally love the trend but you have to find the right bag. I got a new one this year from mango because I love the gold detail on the handles and chain. It gives it a fancier feel. 

• Clear/Translucent bag - I just got this in the mail! It's this clear/translucent style that is all over insta. People have been putting cute things in their bag (like a printed makeup bag ) to add some fun and dimension into your purse.

• Chanel Dupe from Amazon - Lastly, I love a classic looking bag. This bag is a Chanel Dupe for 32 and the quality is amazing! I am so excited to use this all season. 

ACCESORIES:

• Scarf  I bought this scarf to add to bags or put in my hair. This 'chain' print is coming back. I recall that my mother had a shirt in this print when I was a chid and I'm very fond of it. This scarf is a good way to try the trend out and see how I like it!

• Gold Earrings -  These earrings are such a statement and I have seen them everywhere all over instagram. I wanted to try this out and price was right on theses so I snagged them. I will say they are a little heavy but the style is just so cute that it is worth it. 

Hope you guys have enjoyed a glimpse of what I'm shopping for the in the spring! Would love to know what you think of the new trends.
